Exactly. I don't know what max is on about

omg you guys are right. TheYoungTurks are iconic. You can see people discussing them on the most random of videos

Agree in all 3 points, but especially the second one. That's why the Obamas (even though she still probably doesn't like them ) will be the ones to actually win her the White House. She honestly would be doomed without them. She's too busy calling Trump a racist instead of convincing people why she's the best choice

And as soon as Trump is up in the polls he seems to sabatoge himself with

-birtherism
-insulting the black pastor
-insinuating/joking/being sarcastic about a possible assassination of a political candidate

If he keeps this up his numbers will look a lot like August come early October

None of those things will be enough to sabotage him. He's cleared the air with the birtherism and the rest are just the flavor of the week.

And you're right the Obama's are basically the people saving her at this point. I can't even imagine how much she dislikes him for taking the office when she was in her prime.

To be 100% honest, people of color sort of have to accept that decent portion of White Americans are bigoted whether they consciously realize it or not

BYE

Yes, I agree there are a lot of bigoted people out there... but saying people of colour have to accept that?

They are pissed.

"The establishment" has no meaning yet Trump is about to snatch this election with no real experience, expertise, or genuine policies, but on the shear principle that he is non-establishment. K

Huh?

Accepting as in acknowledging it's the reality that we live, not that we're OK with it.

How can republicans hate Hillary and call her too liberal when liberals hate Hillary for not being liberal?

Something doesn't add up.

Because Republicans think she's too out there with her platform. They went after her for working with Bernie. There are liberals in the party that think she is too moderate. This is a fact.

I don't get why people say Hillary is focusing too much on Trump. She mentions him like twice in her speeches. The other 95% is on her plans. Not her daily the media focuses on what portion. Same goes for Trump.

It's the media and voters who care more about personality than anything.

[Lord Blackout]

I actually agree. No one cares if Trump is racist or xenophobic anymore. Clinton camp needs to find a new angle because that one isn't working anymore.

She needs STRONG speeches about her policies. Someone with her political and humanitarian record shouldn't even be talking about their opponents. Hillary is failing to sell herself in a proper way nowadays.

Wait a minute, if he's truly anti-establishment then there's no way he'd get the electoral votes. The college was built to protect America from the stupidity of its voters.

Why can't you be anti-establishment and have electoral votes? The 2 are not mutually exclusive?

[King Maxx]

Hmm. Okay political strategists. What does Hillary have to do differently to get her message across?

How does she force the media to play her speeches when all they care about is talking about tax returns? If it's anything I can say about her, is that she is still fighting against the trash media she's working with?

I mean she's not a fun, charismatic person so she'll never have a platform where she comes off likable according to the standards we expect of her.

Right before she got sick, she gave a POWERFUL speech about her faith at a black church.

The media ignored it.

The electors are not exactly anti-establishment. Trump's entire anti-establishment facade is just that. He'll be no different from George W Bush.

Yeah and no. There have been at least six people within the last page saying the same thing.

I honestly don't see what she can do differently and her campaign acknowledge the same earlier this week.

Yeah, the media is garbage. Hopefully after how Trump did them yesterday, they'll be giving her more air time. The problem is he has a lot of people in his campaign that practically control the media.

Politically, one of the biggest mistakes Trump made today was his treatment of the media.

He's been blacklisting them all week (literally left them stranded on a bus days ago), and straight up embarrassed them today. Today's event was billed as a press conference but he refused to take any questions and only wanted coverage of his hotel. he got it and they were pressed about it (they deleted the hotel footage in protest).

I've noticed that the criticism of the media's coverage is starting to get to them. many NYT reporters in particular are now recognizing the pass they've given him and are now being more critical of him. It's obvious the mainstream media thought that by going easy on Trump, he'd remain accessible (ratings/clicks) but that hasn't been the case. He hasn't held a press conference in almost 2 months and has largely stuck to just Fox news.

I think if coverage of the election becomes even a little more balanced, it'll be very bad for Trump
